Profile:

An attacking batsman, Colah was one of the automatic choices for the first tour of England in 1932. He did fairly well in the first class matches but in the only Test played, he made 22 and 4. A brilliant fielder, he picked up two catches. He also played in the next Test, against England at Bombay in the first ever Test played on Indian soil. Going in late in the order, he made 31 and 12 and that remained the extent of his Test career.

Colah however remained a pillar of strength for Western India, Nawanagar and Bombay during a first class career that stretched from 1922 to 1942, making nearly 3500 runs at an average of almost 30 with five centuries.(Partab Ramchand)
